This baby boy is on the move constantly, y'all! He is getting so big and turning into a true toddler before my eyes. His words and sentences are so impressive. He loves to snuggle his mama and daddy best. He loves to watch morning TV with brother and sister, though he can't sit still nearly as long as they can. He's constantly asking me, or Addie, for "book" or "more book."
His swim lessons ended much better than they began with much less crying and protesting and some pretty impressive survival, floating and swimming skills. His teacher would say "hummmm" to prompt him to hold his breath, and now he loves to shout it in the pool - he also loves to say "kick kick kick" and "scoop scoop" while swimming and will even "jump" off the steps to us and (sort of) swim to us.
Baby boy has officially given up the paci (actually he was forced). He starts school in about a week and mama wanted to be able to send him with no paci. Though he screamed at the beginning of his first few naps/sleeps without it, it's gone relatively well. Of course, it also means his naps and sleeps have been shorter because he can't soothe himself as easily, but he's getting the hang of it.
We had a week-long stand off about this boys eating habits, which had begun to consist only of cheese, grapes and carbs. And any and all snack foods. Thankfully he's back to eating all the foods he once loved and then all of a sudden decided he didn't. Toddlerhood can be rough.
Weight: 25 lbs
Length: 28.75 inches
New things:
- The words are so impressive! Newest words are snow cone, popsicle, ice cream (notice a theme??), tractor, frog, watermelon, raspberry, happy day (for happy birthday), balloons
- He loves to identify all babies in person or photos
- He loves to yell NO a whole lot, or no no no no no no
- This boy LOVES to talk, and he can say pretty much anything, including thank you, please, I love you, squirrel, flower ... and the names of all his immediate family, though Grammie is called "Nana" and GDaddy is DaDaDa. Grammie and Pawpaw's new puppy, Pete, has even graduated from being called "Lola" to his own name.
- He's been very into colors, and although he pretty much calls everything "blue," he can also say yellow, orange, red and green. We're working on it
- Second canine on top with the bottom two not far behind
- Though he likes to be with Addie and Hutch, he's also often content playing by himself, sometimes near them but sometimes totally on his own. This boy is independent, though he definitely misses them when one or both aren't here
- Reading books. He loves to back up into our laps and ask for "mo book"
- Getting teeth brushed. He announces "teeth" when it's time
- Telling us when he poops
- Tags on his blankets and lovies
- Blueberries and raspberries
- Swimming - he'll ask me, mama pool?
- Snowcones (no-cone)
- Playing car-car at the library (a wheel that turns)
- Vacuums
- Attempting to eat dog food and treats
- Saying mmmmmmm while eating anything delicious - usually dessert
- Watching our butterflies hatch and then release them
- Going to music camp this summer, although the puppets on farm day were highly questionable
- Giving "huggies" as he calls them. And kisses. Although he likes to deny them, ask us to cry and then he'll give them. Those sweet hugs, or when I ask him to hold me, involve arms all the way wrapped tight around my neck. It's the very best
- Playing in sister's room, especially turning the light on her new desk on and off, playing her new piano and playing Barbies. Also pulling all the books off her shelves
- Shoes
- Riding in the cart at the store. He prefers to walk and get into everything
- Time out or having to apologize to brother or sister
- Eating real food
